Definitions

  • fuel articles such as fuel pellets, briquettes and fire logs.
  • some fuel articles are produced from cellulosic materials and, optionally, binders such as thermoplastics, starch, waxes, or asphalt, and high specific energy materials such as coal and char.
  • binders such as thermoplastics, starch, waxes, or asphalt
  • high specific energy materials such as coal and char.
  • Fuel pellets having different compositions of materials have been used for heating since the mid-nineteen eighties.
  • the present invention relates to a manufactured fuel article comprising cellulosic material, thermoplastic material, and zeolite.
  • the zeolite can be included in the combustible fuel article in any suitable amount to reduce sulfur emissions.
  • the fuel article includes zeolite in an amount within a range of from about 2% to about 20% by weight of the fuel article, and more particularly from about 2% to about 10%.
  • thermoplastic can be included in the combustible fuel article in any suitable amount.
  • the fuel article includes thermoplastic in an amount within a range of from about 0% to about 50% by weight of the fuel article, more particularly from about 5% to about 50%, and more particularly from about 10% to about 30%.
  • the combustible fuel article can include the cellulosic material, the zeolite and the thermoplastic in any suitable form.
  • the fuel article is composed of a homogeneous mixture of cellulosic material, thermoplastic and zeolite.
  • the fuel article can optionally include one or more additional materials.
  • the fuel article may include a binder such as a starch or wax in any suitable amount, for example, in an amount from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of the fuel article.
  • the combustible fuel article can be manufactured by any suitable method.
  • the above-mentioned Andrews patent describes methods of molding fuel pellets. Methods of producing briquettes and fire logs are well-known in the art.
  • the zeolite in the fuel article is optional, and the article is manufactured in sizes that are larger than or smaller than the sizes disclosed in the Andrews patent.
  • the Andrews patent describes fuel pellets that are smaller than 0.75 inches in diameter and smaller than 3 inches in length. Such pellets may be deficient in that some industrial boilers, residential fireplace, and campfire applications prefer larger fuel briquettes and fire logs for material handling and aesthetic reasons. Accordingly, the fuel articles according to the invention can have small sizes within a range of from 0.25 inch to 3 inches in diameter or larger sizes within a range of from 3 inches to 12 inches in diameter.
